Expressions
Activity 1: Discussing expressions

Talk about the picture.

Who is in the picture?
What are in the picture?
What is going on?
Where are they?
When do you use the expressions?
Now listen to your teacher.
Practice how to say the expressions.

Wheres the book?

Its on the table.
The bag is right here.
Theres pencil in my pencil case.

 The pencil case is over there.

I got it yesterday.

I use it everyday.
I use it carefully.
The man runs fast.
The caterpillar crawls slowly.

Activity 2: Discussing Where, When, and How

To tell where something is, you use a preposition.
So, a preposition goes with a noun.
Look at the examples below.
Place
On the wall In the classroom Next to the TV
Under the table Over there Beside the sofa
On the tree At home Behind the table
To tell when things happen, you use time.

A preposition goes with time too.

One preposition goes with certain time expression.
We cannot change it.
For example, we can say in the morning, but not at the morning.

Time
Today
Yesterday
Tomorrow
In the morning
At noon In Italy In Egypt
In the afternoon

In the evening
At night
In May
On the 1st of May
In 2004
At one oclock
In France In California

To tell how things go, we use adverbs.

Adverbs tell you how an activity is done.
You can ask, for example, How does he walk?

The answer is He walks fast.

Fast is the manner, or they way he walks.
Manner
Fast
Slowly
Activity 3: Indicating places
